Excellent stuff! A breeze to install. Two things though:
1) I was installing on a drive which turned out to have bad sectors on
it :-( Having no e2fsck+badblocks in the install CD was not helpful.
I would have thought that they could be fitted on a 100MB image. As it
was I had to cancel install and boot from a (fortunately available)
Knoppix CD.
2) When loading modules I had to press OK about 20 odd times to say that
I did not want to add any parameters to any of the modules (each module
kept popping up the same question). Perhaps have an option at the start
to add no parameters?
